Early Season Blues.....

captadamr · 02-20-2007, 05:14 PM

Finally got our first blue marlin of the season. After going 0-3 over the last 3 trips, a 200lber got hooked up and stayed pinned on. Managed to get 2 bulls around 20 and 30lb and 2 15lb wahoo. Sure have been allot of early season blue marlin, guess we can blame it on el-nino.

Yea its an Island Sailure with ballyhoo. He passed up the phobe and ate the hoo

. Nearly all the other billfish have been hitting the phobe @ least once and then either getting hooked or switching to bait.

Got it about 5 miles off Green Cay. There have been allot of blues out there really early, not too many whiteys though

Nice lit up shot. It makes me want to quit my job and go back to fishing.
